Really Fred, this is good work!
The po files make things much simpler for the translators. This way they see 
which parts in the handbook have changed.

Does the ZIP file contain the old docbook files from the languages different 
to english?
I do not understand why some PO files are included in the file. Could you 
please explain this, Fred? I'm a bit slow with thinking :)

This is OK.

Please do not include the common folders. KDE does already ship these folders 
for each language! I'll change the installation system of the doc files to 
create a symlink from the common folder KDE ships for the language to 
bibletime/common.
The package would get too big and we would not use KDE's files which may get 
updated in later versions of KDE.
